New stands making it cold
I think the new corner stands, while needed, make it increasingly cold in the Longside upper due to the wind having nowhere to escape to. Don't think I've ever been as cold at a home game as I was on Saturday. That is all.

??????- really?
Re: New stands making it cold
Wasn't it just, erm, a very cold day?
I'm not fluid dynamics expert, but I'd say that, if wind has nowhere to escape from an enclosed area, it will build a positive pressure.
This will, in turn, prevent more wind (which is essentially high pressure equalising low pressure) from entering into the space.
I think it was just very cold.

Coldest? You obviously weren't at the Peterborough game some years ago when JRod scored his wonder goal. That was bloody cold!

Re: New stands making it cold
Scarborough at home, early 90's, Associate members Cup ... 0-0 after 90 minutes and match abandoned before extra-time started as the pitch froze as the game progressed. Definitely the coldest, and I was 29 then !!

I once helped CT cover a Burnley U18's away game against Hafnarfjordur - now that was cold!!
Re: New stands making it cold
I actually think it’s warmer with the new corner stands and I sit in an exposed area. It’s been far far colder than that at Turf Moor.

Re: New stands making it cold
I reckon it is less windy in the Bob Lord stand now that the corners have been filled in. Having said that, it was still a cold one on Saturday.
Re: New stands making it cold
Its always windy in the Bob Lord Stand (its the beans and cabbage that does it)

It wasn't the cold that got me on Saturday it was the constant breeze which you never used to get, at least where I sit.

Re: New stands making it cold
If they changed the big screen to an old fashioned CRT set it would generate so much heat we could all take our coats off, especially if they put one on top of the other stand as well.

Re: New stands making it cold
'...In 1969, a new, bigger stand was built at a cost of £180,000 (£2.91 million as of 2019) at the Cricket Field End that incorporated changing rooms and a players' tunnel, which had previously been a part of the Brunshaw Road stand.[14] Under-seat heating was installed in the Cricket Field End, but after the first time it was used, chairman Bob Lord deemed it uneconomical and expensive, and it was never again switched on...'
50 years on - maybe try switching on the heating again...Bob wouldn't mind!

Re: New stands making it cold
Hartlepool on a miserable Tuesday night in the early 90s was the coldest. Fingers froze, Bovril froze, even time froze...
Think the players froze (figuratively as well as actually). Thrilling 0-0 draw.
Them were the days......

Took me four and a half hours to get home to Manchester thru the snow. Got stuck twice on A56 and had to wait for sow ploughs. Bloody BMws, that was my last one

I was at that one. My feet still haven't warmed up fully.

Re: New stands making it cold
That was a cold, cold night. I remember being stuck on Harry Potts Way after the game, running on fumes and staring at a traffic light with massive icicles hanging off it. I was supposed to be going to a birthday party at Marl Pitts in Rossendale - but it took me 4 hours to get home.Hendrickxz wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 8:54 amColdest?

I remember going to Norwich away over the Christmas period about 12-14 years ago. I was on the 2nd row and had snow actually piled on my knee, think it took us 8 hours to get down

Out of interest, what precautions did you take against the cold, since the weather forecast was to be v cold?SandyLaneClaret wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 8:14 amI think the new corner stands, while needed, make it increasingly cold in the Longside upper due to the wind having nowhere to escape to.

(I wasn't cold, but I had a thick Aran sweater on, my fleece under my duffel, thick hikers socks and boots, and gloves. Yes, I know, I'm soft, but at least I was warm).
I see some people at matches who are either really tough or just unprepared. Even the Geordies kept their tops on!

Re: New stands making it cold
Just buy thermals - I was warm enough on Saturday - can't do without them these days when the temperatures drop.
Re: New stands making it cold
Derby away at the new ground, when Jean Louis Valois scored the equaliser.
It was so cold and I just had a wee slit left to see and still that frosted up!

Top pitch particularly. Wind up and 21 players in one half of the pitch all the game. You must have been the one not in that half.

Surely by the time you got to about 12 up, you could just have gone upfield and joined them?
It would have been pretty low risk.

Re: New stands making it cold
Remember standing on the open end at Fratton for that one (wasn't it New Years Day ?) and being about as cold as I've ever been anywhere, never mind just at a football match. After we went behind I seem to remember some of our players started deliberately sliding around like Torville and Dean presumably to influence the referee into considering an abandonment. Didn't work sadly.

Re: New stands making it cold
Hartlepool (1985/86) remains the worst for me but Oxford (1983/84) and Portsmouth (1994/95) are very worthy of mention.
